License check? - .NET Framework

Bob

Hi,

I have a program that I want to provide for install using a Windows
Installer. It is written in C# and has a support class for checking
validity of licenses, based on a license file.
It is easy enough to use this when the program is installed, but how do
I make the Windows Installer use the program on installation, so that I
could check if the license file is valid or not?

Best Regards

One way would be to run an external command line program during
installation. This program does the license checking.
